177 participants evaluated female job applicants on the basis of a transcript of a job interview. One-half of the participants were told that the applicant was 63, one-half that the applicant was 24. Success or failure in obtaining the job was also manipulated. In addition, participants' scores on an attitude scale were compared to their assessment of the job applicants. There were no clear differences in evaluation of young and old applicants. Scores on the attitude scale were also unrelated to these evaluations. However, female participants rated the older applicants more positively than did males. In addition, knowledge of the outcome of the interview affected ratings. Regardless of age, people who were hired were rated more positively than those who were not. These results are disucssed in terms of implications for future studies of attitudes toward the elderly.
177名参与者根据一段求职面试的文字记录对女性求职者进行评估。一半参与者被告知求职者63岁，另一半被告知求职者24岁。获得工作的成功或失败情况也受到了操控。此外，将参与者在态度量表上的得分与其对求职者的评估进行了比较。对年轻和年长求职者的评估没有明显差异。态度量表上的得分也与这些评估无关。然而，女性参与者对年长求职者的评价比男性更积极。此外，面试结果的知晓情况影响了评分。无论年龄如何，被录用的人比未被录用的人得到了更积极的评价。将根据这些结果对未来关于对老年人态度的研究的影响进行讨论。
